Clown, super-mum and “big girl from Darwin”, Tamsin has performed with Vulcana Women’s Circus since 1997, and she co founded Circus Minimus with Donna Carstens in 2000. Frequently appearing as the blonde-bombshell dits Marilyn, Tamsin’s clown is disarmingly charming. An amazon in a pink boa, Tam is capable of strong acrobatic acts, such as the well-received comic triple trapeze act she performed with Vulcana in a fetching floral bathing cap. Tamsin has also been seen as the indomitable Valerie the Viking who serenades small stuffed animals. [I guess you have to see it.] Tam has worked with numerous theatre companies and she continues to perform and teach with Vulcana Women’s Circus, Flipside Kid’s Circus and with her company Circus Minimus.
